Dó Cairde (pronounced doe car-jah) is Gaelic for "two friends." Maureen Frail and Kathy Hanley Oikemus, ADCRG encourage the students to enjoy and understand the art and culture of Irish Dancing. They believe that while dancing can be competitive, it should also instill a sense of teamwork and the ability to learn from mistakes. Maureen and Kathy hope that the students of Dó Cairde will develop friendships that will last a lifetime.

Dó Cairde is involved in shows and parades throughout the year. Information on these performances will be distributed at class and listed here on the school web site. We strongly encourage all students to attend as many performances as possible. It is good experience for the children as well as a nice way to give to the community.
